Filled Pasta with Tomato Pesto Cream Sauce

I love stuffed pastas. Fill them with cheese, meat, vegetables, it really doesn't matter. Cover them with any kind of sauce, it doesn't matter. Just give me stuffed pastas. These little babies are Buitoni's.

It takes four packages to feed my crew, so I usually only buy these if they are on a mega sale (or reduced for quick sale). Once in a while, I splurge and buy one container and don't share. But that isn't very nice.

With this recipe, you could use any kind of pasta....even plain if you so choose. Ravioli, tortellini, agnolotti...it doesn't matter what you stuff them with, this sauce will go.

Tomato Pesto Cream Sauce:

1 14 ounce can petite diced tomatoes

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup prepared pesto sauce

1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp Tabasco sauce

salt & pepper to taste

In a saucepan, combine tomatoes, cream and pesto until well combined. Add remaining ingredients and heat through. Toss with cooked pasta. The End.
